Message from the Editor
=======================
As 2017 draws to a close, our community remains very active: the DAS
workshop had over 130 full paper submissions
(), and a new issue of IJDAR was
released in early December (the Table of Contents with links to papers
is included in this issue).
**Careers/Study.** There are new opportunities for Master's and Doctoral
research at the University de la Rochelle (France) and RIT (USA). RIT
has faculty positions at the Assistant Professor level, and people from
our community are stongly encouraged to apply (full disclosure: this is
my home institution).
**Conferences.** ICFHR and ICPR Calls for Papers are also included in
this issue, along with the ICFHR call for competitions. There is also
just one week left to submit your papers to the ASAR conference. Please
consider submitting your work to these venues.
In closing, on behalf of myself and the TC-11 officers, Happy Holidays,
and we wish you and your families all of the best in the New Year. I'll
talk to you again in 2018!

Call for Hosting Proposals for the TC10/TC11 Summer School
==========================================================
**Important Dates**
Proposal Submission Jan. 31, 2018
Part of the mission of IAPR TC11 and TC10 is to promote high quality
educational activities related to Reading Systems and Graphics
Recognition. Responding to this need, TC10 and TC11 have decided to
establish a bi-annual series of summer schools. After the successful
organization of the first summer school in Jaipur, India, we are now are
soliciting proposals for the organisation of the second "IAPR TC10/TC11
Summer School on Document Analysis" in 2018 or early 2019.
The "IAPR TC10/TC11 Summer School on Document Analysis" is intended to
become the prime educational activity of IAPR TC11 (Reading Systems) and
TC10 (Graphics Recognition). The School is meant to be a training
activity where participants are exposed to the latest trends and
techniques of Reading Systems and Graphics Recognition.
The aim of the School is to provide both an objective and clear overview
and an in-depth analysis of the state-of-the-art research in selected
topics of Reading Systems and Graphics Recognition. The School should
aim to provide a stimulating opportunity for young researchers and Ph.D.
students in the field.
Individuals and groups who are interested in Reading Systems and
Graphics Recognition are invited to submit proposals for organizing and
hosting the 2018 IAPR TC10 / TC11 Summer School. As the last summer
school was organized in Asia, organizing teams from Europe or the
Americas are encouraged to submit a bid in order to facilitate the
envisioned rotational scheme of the IAPR TC10 / TC11 Summer School.
It is expected that proposers familiarise themselves with the guidelines
for organising the School first, to fully plan their bid. The Guidelines
can be found at the TC11 Web site:
The submission of a bid implies full agreement with the rules and
procedures for organising the School. Especially, this means that
organizers will apply for IAPR support and that the event will use the
series title "IAPR TC10/TC11 Summer School on Document Analysis" with an
optional sub-title denoting a special focus of the respective event.
Proposals should be sent to:
- Gernot A. Fink, TC-11 Education Officer, gernot.fink@udo.edu
- Syed Saqib Bukhari, TC-10 Educational Officer, saqib.bukhari@dfki.de

Funded Masters' Thesis/Internship at L3i Lab (Univ. De La Rochelle, France)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following funded masters thesis/internship is available at the L3i
Lab at the University of Rochelle (France), under the supervision of a
young and dynamic team. Please forward this information to students at
your institution.
**Topic: Applications of Scene Text Detection/Recognition for the
Visually Impaired and/or Tourist Guidance**
**Executive Summary**
Text appears everywhere in our natural surrounding environments such as
in traffic signs, license plates, advertisement billboards, business
cards, building signs, labels on posted parcels and on name plates.
People who suffer from visual impairment face challenges reading the
text in all those situations, whether reading such text is a necessity
for their everyday life or simply for navigating and/or enjoying the
world around them. We propose to develop an app for mobile and/or
wearable devices to assist the visually impaired by narrating the text
in their surrounding natural scenes.
This internship would produce a complete working pipeline of a mobile
scene text accessibility system for the visually impaired. The main
modules of this pipeline of a smartphone app are: video capture,
preprocessing and frame selection, text detection, text recognition
(OCR), text-to-speech and/or augmented reality. The app will be tested
on Android smartphones and smart-glasses.
**Key Words**
Scene text detection, scene text recognition, OCR, text accessibility
for the visually impaired, Android, wearable devices, mobile-captured
images

Ph.D. Position in Math-Aware Search (IR + Machine Learning) at RIT (USA)

**Important Dates**
Jan. 15th, 2018 (Priority review date)
**Co-Advisors:**

Douglas Oard (iSchool and UMIACS, Univ. of Maryland, College Park, USA)
**Apply Online:**
**RIT Ph.D. in Computing and Information Science Degree Requirements**
**Description**
We are looking for a Ph.D. student interested in doing a combination of
machine learning and information retrieval research. Given a large
collection of technical documents, we will apply machine learning
techniques to construct associations between the formulae and words used
to explain mathematical ideas, and determine how to translate
automatically between those two forms of expression. These text-math
relationships will then be used to produce a scalable math-aware search
engine for a large public collection of technical documents (CiteSeerX:
http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/index).
These associations and translations between math and text can then be
used by students who write what they are looking for using words, with
the search engine finding documents that express those same ideas, even
if only in mathematical notation. This project also aims to allow
scientists, engineers, mathematicians, and students to locate technical
information using words, mathematical notation, or some of each. For
example, a mathematician studying graph theory could use these new
capabilities to find related applications in physics, ecology, and
social network analysis, despite any differences in the notation and
terminology used in those disciplines.
**The DPRL Lab (www.cs.rit.edu/\~dprl)**
The Document and Pattern Recognition Lab at RIT has developed
state-of-the-art techniques for formula search, math-aware search
interfaces and automatic recognition of handwritten and typeset
mathematical notation. There are currently two other Ph.D. students
working on this project, along with a number of Master's-level Research
Assistants.
This Ph.D. is part of a larger project funded by the NSF and the Alfred
P. Sloan Foundation aiming to bring math search to the masses, through
developing usable math-aware search engines that make the location and
discovery of technical information simpler for both experts and
non-experts.
